About the Abductor PCB
Abductor is an open source PCB design by therealdreg, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 6-layer board measuring 54 × 67 mm, with 2 components from 2 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the PCIE-064-02-F-D-TH. By type, the board carries 1 IC and 1 connector.
From the project
Adapter board that lets CW312-format targets run on the ChipWhisperer CW308 UFO, bridging the UFO target socket to a CW312 card-edge slot.
An adapter board that lets you run CW312-format (card-edge) targets on the ChipWhisperer CW308 UFO. Discussion and questions on the NewAE forum: https://forum.newae.com/t/abductor-a-cw312-to-cw308-ufo-adapter-board/6514
There are two versions, one with a right-angle connector and one without. A dedicated target board designed for one specific use case is usually preferable; when that is not practical, or simply not possible, this adapter is a low-cost alternative.
